Biccies and Bagginses have taken over the website!

I’ve been busy making all sorts of lovely things for my markets lately, and thought it was about time some of them made their way onto the website too!
So I’ve popped together two little collections for you to explore...

🍪 The Biscuit Tin – full of biscuit-shaped happiness, from sweet keyrings and bag charms to the most dramatic, long-awaited diva bag I’ve ever made - Miss Custard Cream!

🌿 Bilbo’s Bags – a teeny weeny collection of Middle-earth inspired bags and wallets, with plenty of lovely details for my fellow Hobbit enthusiasts!

I’m focusing mainly on making for markets at the moment, so the website won’t always be stocked with everything I make. Instead, I’ll be adding little drops like this whenever I’ve got some goodies ready to share online.

No big launches or fancy fuss, just a happy little selection of whatever I’ve been enjoying making lately!

Both collections are on the website now if you fancy having a look! 💜

🍁🍂 it’s that time of year again! My absolute favourite season wooooo! So busy market madness is upon us again - here’s my October markets folks. If you’re around and fancy some lovely autumn browsing, come along to a market - market trading is HARD work and any support is always soooooo welcome!

Wishing all other traders a successful happy season, and sending you all good vibes for no insane windy days, and a rain free October heeheeee ###

Little market update for July - September. I’ll be away in August for a chunk so just doing the one market that month unless I get a mad burst of market energy two days before our holiday 🤣

Can you tell I get far too excited making stuff that I forget to show stuff off?! 😂

Here’s my current biccie bag range - all handmade by moi, assisted by Isla, Ember, and the raccoons - made with love for you in Darlo 🥰

I also have some biccie purses too, and I’m working on the custard cream bag design - should be ready in time for Durham Markets on 24th July - if you’re in Durham that day come along and say hello! I always have a big old basket of free biccies to hand out too 🥰

Made this for the lovely 🌻 ανα тαѕмα 🌻 for her birthday! I’m just obsessed I’m so glad I did a little photoshoot before I wrapped it up heehee!

Squeeeeee they’re ready gang! I just love them so much! So happy and bright and fun!

Available on my website now - in adult and kids size, with a special £5 discount if you buy a mini & me set. You’ll notice some aren’t in stock yet, because they aren’t the quickest to make so I’ve just made as many as I can for now and will update you when there’s more flavours ready including the famous Lemon Top! If you notice your fave flavour isn’t in stock, feel free to place a pre order and I’ll get on with making yours asap.

And if you’d like a different flavour, feel free to message me directly with the details 🥰

I really hope you all enjoy this little lot - I’ll be bringing them along to my summer markets, starting with Thursday 2nd July in beautiful Durham!

For all you bagmakers, the pattern is the One Scoop by K Azkona Designs, and all my beautiful vinyl is from Blue Moth Fabrics
